Rivka was born in the Ukraine in or near Korets and was orphaned at age 5. She was raised by neighbors as her brothers were unable to take her in. She came to the United States after the birth of her first daughter, Rose. She was a seamstress and her cooking specialty was stuffed kishke. Harry Poleschuck fought for Russia against Japan and then escaped to America, later bringing his family. They lived in Lynn, Mass. along with her sister Esther. Harry worked for General Electric.
